Courageous P.O.W. Jeremiah Denton dies, age 89 (video)

March 28, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

During his imprisonment, Denton achieved widespread recognition when, during an internationally televised press conference in 1966 staged by the North Vietnamese for propaganda purposes, he bravely answered the interviewer’s questions while simultaneously blinking, in Morse code, the message “T-O-R-T-U-R-E.” The message confirmed to the U.S. for the first time that U.S. POWs were being tortured in captivity.

Hr explained how he survived when so many didn’t.

“My principal battle with the North Vietnamese was a moral one, and prayer was my prime source of strength,” he said.
